,ANGUS is 6 years old and is currently living with his brother, Hero. He’s a big strong boy who will need to be neutered once he is in his new home. HCBW will meet the costs of neutering.
Hero and Angus both enjoy getting out into the garden and playing with toys. They are lovely boys, their coats are glossy and they have no known medical conditions. They get on well together and have no spats even over toys or food, but due to ill-health, for well over a year now, their owner has not been able to take them out on walks. Because of his size, Angus is looking for a home with no children under 12, NO CATS and no other dogs, although, with sensible introductions in his current home, he has been fine with visiting small dogs. He will either need a home with secure land where he can exercise freely off lead, or a home where there is focus on some training and socialisation. See the video clip where Angus recently took a short walk - he behaved well on the lead. In an ideal world we would love them to stay together, but we recognise it is a huge ask taking in two big boys . Angus is currently in the Forest of Dean. If you think you would like to offer Angus, or indeed Hero and Angus, a home please contact Lorraine Harvey on 07760 178529 or Lorraine.harvey@hcbw.org.uk |

Bruno is just 18 months old and has come into rescue because he was too lively for his elderly owner.
He is a typically exuberant and lively boxer pup, but one who has received limited training. We are looking for an experienced home where Bruno can relax and be the only dog and with NO children or cats. He needs a home where clear boundaries are set and he can learn some basic manners. Bruno is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He is currently near Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire. If you would like to know more or offer Bruno a home please contact Angie Barber on 07927 406989 or Angela.Barber@hcbw.org.uk |

Bob is 14 months old and is looking for a new home through no fault of his own.
He’s a lovely boy who currently lives with a much older dog and is used to spending time with visiting children, so we would consider a home with dog-savvy children. He has never met a cat, but he showed no interest in the squirrels outside so we suspect he would be OK to live with other pets. He walks well on a lead even though he is already a big sturdy boy who still has some growing to do. He can be a bit cautious with new people, but once he gets to know you he is more than happy to have a fuss and a play. Bob isn’t used to being left for very long, so ideally we are looking for a home with someone who is around for most of the time and because he’s such a young boy, someone who is keen to continue with his training. He will need neutering when he is old enough, and HCBW will cover the cost of this operation. |
Lola is a red neutered boxer girl, aged almost 10 years old. She came to rescue following a relationship break up and needs a quiet home where she can enjoy her twilight years. Although she has lived with another dog, we feel she will be at her best being the only dog in the home . She loves attention, being the cuddle monster she is. Lola is very fit and enjoys her walks.

Meet the very handsome friendly Bruno!
Bruno is a 2 1/2 year old Boxer X Old Tyme Bulldog, He has recently come into our care after a change in his family circumstances and who now don't have enough time to give him. He is still being assessed but so far he is a typical young Boxer, He has lived with children so will consider a family with dog savvy children over 10 years old. He has lived with other dogs in the past but he is looking to be the only dog in the home now to enjoy all the attention. He loves a tummy rub and does think he's a lap dog! He is currently in kennels in Buckingham. He is neutered and fully vaccinated. |
Max is a lively good looking young boy aged just 23 months. He is white with two brown spots on his head.
He has been in his current home for 14 months and is seeking a new home because he and the female dog in the home are having occasional nasty spats and in between times neither dog is settling comfortably. The female nervously avoids Max and he watches her closely. Max is house-trained and walks well on his lead with his current owners. He enjoys off lead time but his recall is not good if there are distractions. He will run to meet other dogs and can seem very full on but has shown no aggression. Max has lived in a home with older children and has not encountered cats but we suspect he would chase them. He is up to date with his vaccinations and flea and worming treatments. He will need to be neutered and HCBW will bear this cost. Max is quite lean although apparently he has put on a significant amount of weight whilst with the family. We are looking for a home where Max can enjoy being the only dog and where he can benefit from further training, particularly on recall and socialisation. We would consider a home with dog-savvy children over 12. Max is currently living near Junction 3 of the M40 [near Hopwood, south of Birmingham] and you will need to visit him here. |
This is the lovely Bruce. He is a 7 year old Boxer cross.
He is neutered and microchipped but will need to be vaccinated once settled in his new home. Bruce has come in to our care as he was becoming very stressed and anxious in his home living with a 2yr old toddler. He is a gentle boy but will react to doorbells and visitors knocking on the door . He will jump up and bark. He walks well on the lead but can easily get distracted by passing people and other dogs. He is good with other dogs but can get a bit over zealous. He has never lived with other animals. Bruce is looking for a quiet home, with no other pets, no young children and with someone who is home majority of the time. Bruce is currently in kennels in Worcester and anyone interested in him will need to travel to meet him. A satisfactory home check will need to be done. |

This is Rosie, aged 6. She has come to rescue because she was no longer wanted in the home she had been in for a year. Her past life from before that is unknown although we feel sure she may have been bred from. She is a crossbreed, with some boxer in the mix and we suspect maybe some Dogue du Bordeaux as well.
Since coming to us, she has been in foster and has proved to be a sweet girl, fully house-trained after a minor accident on day one. Her foster carer says: “She is very sweet and is always wagging her tail. She is also very bright and a quick learner. Being a big foodie helps when introducing visitors which I always do outside first and then there is no problem. She usually ignores people on the street and only shows a bit of interest if they have a carrier bag which might contain some tit bit. She enjoys it when the odd few say hello and make a big fuss of her. She hasn’t properly been tested with bigger dogs, but small ones she’s been friendly with. Recently she passed one large boy that showed aggression towards her and she disregarded him.” Rosie has been vaccinated. She was due to be spayed but came into season last month so the operation needs to be delayed for approx. 3 months and HCBW will meet the cost. Rosie is currently near Staines in Surrey. |
This is Tilly, a 2 year 6 month old, gorgeous white girl.
Tilly recently came in to us as she was not getting on with another dog in the home and had become protective when visitors came. She would initially bark, jump up and be quite intimidating. She either liked you or she didn’t. Since being assessed at the kennels she isn’t showing any of this behaviour. She can be a little nervous when first meeting people but soon becomes your friend. She loves to run and play in the field but can get a little over excited and then will jump up. She responds very well to a ‘no’ or ‘get down’ and will then sit and wait for praise. Tilly is looking for a home where her confidence can be worked on and where the new owners will take the lead and introduce her to all the pleasures in life, SLOWLY. Tilly needs to be the ONLY DOG in the home. No cats or small furries and children under 8 years old. She has been bought up with older children and absolutely loved them. Once settled in her new home Tilly will need to be spayed and vaccinated, the expenses of which HCBW will cover. She is microchipped. |

Meet Dexter, he is a gorgeous very typical young Boxer boy, 18 months old, super friendly but very jumpy. He is not yet neutered we would pay for this to be done once he is settled into his new home. This will be part of the contract to adopt. He could possibly be placed in a home with a spayed female, with careful introduction or as an only dog. He is fully vaccinated. No young children due to his playfulness, savvy teenagers would be ok and no cats. He walks well on the lead using a halti., sits nicely at the curb waiting to cross. He will need a secure garden with 6ft fencing. He is currently in Norfolk and anyone who is interested in meeting him will need to be able to visit.

Opie is a handsome red and white boy, just over 3 years old. He came to rescue with his litter brother Jax because his family needed to move. He and his brother have always got along well and there has been no upset or drama between them. He has lived with teenage children previously and doubtless could do so again.
Opie had an intense residential training session when young and his lead walking and recall was excellent but it was not kept up. He is having refresher sessions now and he is responding well. He is quite excited on first meets but is learning he doesn’t need to jump up to say hello. With sensible introductions, it is felt Opie could live with another dog. He has not lived with cats but is not phased by them. Once settled in his new home Opie will need to be neutered and HCBW will meet the cost. If you think you could offer Opie [or indeed Opie and Jax] a home please contact Lorraine Harvey on 07760178529 or Lorraine.harvey@hcbw.org.uk Home check visit will apply. |
JAX **rehomed**Jax is a handsome red boy with a black mask, just over 3 years old. He came to rescue with his litter brother Opie because his family needed to move. He and his brother have always got along well and there has been no upset or drama between them. He has lived with teenage children previously and doubtless could do so again.
Jax had an intense training session when young and his lead walking and recall was excellent but it was not kept up. We have arranged for refresher sessions for him and he is responding well.

Twiggy is a sweet, well-loved, 8 year old boxer who is looking for a new home due to a change in family circumstances.
Whilst she is friendly towards people, she can be reactive to other dogs so we are looking for a DOG-FREE home for her to enjoy. She is not used to living with children but we would consider a home with dog-savvy children over 10 years old, providing the introduction went well. Ideally we would like an active home as she is still full of energy and eager to play. She is strong on the lead due to her reaction to other dogs, but she is improving with the guidance of a regular dog walker. Twiggy is currently in Oxfordshire, and you will need to be able to travel to meet her. A home check will need to be arranged, unless we have done one recently for you. Twiggy is spayed. |
Moss **rehomed**Please read carefully and apply only if you can meet her needs
This pretty young bobtail girl is 21 months old. She is house-trained and lovely in the home (although she does have a fetish for shoes [not when they are on your feet though], so these need to be kept out of reach!), but sadly she is very fearful of the world at large. Although she settles well in the home and is generally a happy girl, she is alert to any noise and if the doorbell rings she will rush away and hide, not coming out for some time. She can be left alone for short periods but if there are unusual or loud noises, say from next door she worries and on one occasion, had a minor accidental pee. Outside of the home she is afraid of virtually everything: passing cars, noises, strangers, even flapping signs. If frightened she will spin and turn on her lead. Yet she travels well and is fine in the car, even if there are noises everywhere around her. She walks well in isolated spaces and enjoys being there, although at the same time being on alert for anything different. She is happy to meet other dogs and is waggy-tailed, wanting to play, but shrinks from their owners. We are seeking a quiet adult only home where there is another steady dog to give her confidence and guidance, reassuring her that the world is not the scary place she fears it is. She will need lots of kindness, patience and time to overcome her fears. Can you provide that for her? Do you live in a quiet area where there are minimal distractions for her to cope with? Are you prepared to nurture her through her fears? If you think you can provide this lovely girl with the right home, please contact Lorraine Harvey on 07760 178529 or Lorraine.harvey@hcbw.org.uk. She is neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped and is currently in Surrey, near Windsor, so you will need to be able to travel to meet her. |
Mya is a beautiful energetic friendly girl, she has just turned 7, she is looking for a new home as her family feel they can no longer give her what she needs. She is currently in Norfolk.
She is fully vaccinated, microchipped and will need to be spayed once settled in her new home. She has lived with other dogs and is excitable when she meets dogs out. No cats or small furries as she will chase. She is used to young children visiting and is good with them but not living with them full time, we would consider older children 10 years + as she can get excitable. She is strong on the lead but she's not getting as much exercise as she needs so when she does go out she is enthusiastic. Mya can be left for a few hours and is not destructive. If you are interested in Mya and would like to be considered please contact Julie with more information about the home you can offer email julie.semmence@hcbw.org.uk or call 01508 218471 |

2 year old /male / neutered / brindle bobtail boxer / fully vaccinated
Benjee came to us in much need of some time to relax, as well as some basic training. He has been in kennels where the lovely staff have been working with him every day and he is developing into a lovely boy. He has calmed down a lot in such a short time and we are confident that this will continue. Benjee is looking for a home where someone is around most of the day to continue his training. He isn’t used to young children and would probably be a little too boisterous for them at the moment, but dog savvy children over 12 would be considered, providing the introduction went well. He will chase other small animals, so he needs a PET-FREE house for now. He has lived with another dog in the past and doubtless he can again, but for now he needs to be the only dog in a calm home to continue the good work that has been started. HCBW will provide full behavioural support and advice, and the kennels will give initial guidance for the first few weeks. Benjee loves nothing more than exploring on a long walk, playing fetch with his favourite ball, or just being with you! You will need to have a satisfactory homecheck, unless we have a recent one for you, and you will need to be able to travel to Worcester to meet him. If you feel you could be the perfect home for Benjee, please contact Tracey Lowes on 07778 933529 |
14 months old / red / female / no young children / no cats
Wanda is a beautiful red girl, with a black mask. She is 14 months old, very friendly with people and other dogs. She is coming into rescue because of her owners ill health. She has not had a lot of training but is a lovely girl and very willing to please especially if you have food. She has not lived with another dog but she has spent lots of time at doggie daycare with other dogs which she enjoys, so a doggie pal would definitely be considered. She walks well on a lead with treats to encourage this but, she will need training with her recall,. She is fully house trained and crate trained. She can be left for a short time, but she can be destructive if left for any longer. Older children only (12+) as she's had very little experience with younger children. And definitely NO CATS. She's is not spayed yet but this will be done asap. Wanda is in foster in Norfolk. If you think you can give Wanda the home she deserves please contact Julie Semmence either by email julie.semmence@hcbw.org.uk or call 01508 218471 |
This is Bella, a 4 year old bobtail and currently living nr. Ipswich in Suffolk. She is coming into rescue because she is over-protective of her owner and is incredibly unwelcoming towards visitors to the house and also sometimes, towards the resident male dog. By contrast she is incredibly loving with her family in the home.
Bella has spent holidays and more recently regular day care time at the local kennels who say she is an absolute sweetie and they do not see any of the behaviours Bella exhibits in her own home. The protecting behaviours seem to be restricted to the family and home. Bella is living with young children and is great with them but we feel she would be best in a child-free home where she is the only dog and where the household is relatively quiet and she can learn to relax. Bella is a strong girl and can pull on the lead. The kennels are spending some training time with her and say she is improving. She is only let off the lead in secure areas and her recall is pretty good but not 100% perfect. Bella is not neutered but she is visiting the vet with a view to having the operation. If you would like to know more, please contact Lorraine Harvey on 07760 178529 or lorraine.harvey@hcbw.org.uk |

2 year old / male / neutered / red Boxer / fully vaccinated.
Louie is a well-loved, typical 2 year old boxer boy with an excitable temperament. He loves people and, although he can be initially very excited, once he calms down he is lovely in the house. We would consider a home with older children (over 10), but as he has not lived with another dog, we are looking for a dog-free home. He walks well on the lead most of the time, but he can be a little dominant with other dogs off lead – not all, and not all the time - so you would need to manage his behaviour and commit to further training work with him. Ideally we would like an active home with someone who is prepared to give him the time and guidance he needs. He is a lovely boy who responds well to training, but needs to learn where his boundaries should be. |
Nessie is a beautiful white boxer girl, 2 years old, neutered and ready to go to her new home. She is currently in Norfolk. Nessie has been great with visiting grandchildren and loves people. She is ok when left for a couple of hours. At night, Nessie sleeps all through the night downstairs in her crate which she loves and has no accidents.
Nessie is strong on her lead if there are other animals about but walks lovely with a Halti - we are happy to help with ongoing support and advice to continue her training. She’s very quick to learn and really appears to love being out in the garden, playing and seems to love agility. Her tail never stops wagging, she’s such a sweetheart. ❤ Nessie will chase cats and other small pets so we would be looking for a home for Nessie without any other pets, including any other dogs. |

Finlay is a 14 month old neutered boy, fully vaccinated and microchipped. He is very handsome and very excitable. He has had little effective training and will need someone with experience of boisterous Boxers and patience to give him the guidance and boundaries he needs. Training will essentially need to start from the very basics to reveal the lovely boy he undoubtedly can become. He is looking for a child and pet free home due to his over the top behaviour. He still play-bites and he will need work to stop this. He needs a fully secure garden too with at least 6ft fencing .

She is a 3yr old Boxer x Old Thyme Bulldog.
Beans is looking for a new home as she has recently had a spat with a visiting small dog. She has lived with both her mother and father with no problems. She is fully vaccinated and will need to be spayed once she has settled in her new home. She is a very active girl and is hoping her new family will be able to take her on long walks. She is good when meeting other dogs and only wants to play with them. She loves people and likes nothing more than to sit on the sofa on your lap if you would let her. Beans isn’t used to cats or any small furries. Older children would be preferable as she has had very limited socialization with toddlers. She travels well in the car. Beans is currently in Worcester so you will need to be able to travel to meet her. |
Riley is a lovely friendly 8 year old Boxer x Dalmation who is looking for a new home through no fault of her own.
We are looking for a PET-FREE home. She CANNOT be rehomed with cats or other small animals, but she gets on well some with other dogs. She is used to living with young children and so we would consider a home with dog-savvy children, providing the introduction went well. Ideally we would like an active home as she is still full of energy and eager to play. She is strong on the lead and has a tendency to lunge towards things (other dogs, people, leaves…) but only to say hello - she’s a friendly girl! She is fully vaccinated, but she will need to be spayed once she’s settled in her new home. Riley is currently in Hertfordshire, so you will need to be able to travel to meet her. A home check will need to be arranged, unless we have done one recently for you. |
This big chap is Reuben, a neutered boxer cross, weighing in at 40 kg. He came to HCBW in February and has been in foster in Norwich where he has been enjoying some tlc. We know little of his background and a vet estimates his age at 8/9 years old. His general health has been good although just before coming to us, he did have the majority of his front teeth removed as they had decayed.
His foster Mum says “he has an outstandingly gentle kind temperament with good manners and a loving disposition and he is responsive to all usual commands. He walks well on the lead and has not shown any aggression to other dogs. He is a very strong boy, so will need an equally strong handler if the necessity arises. He is clean in the home, happy and playful. He loves his toys - especially large sticks and is partial to a good cuddle.” As a senior boy, Reuben will be eligible to be covered under our Oldies Policy which will be fully explained to anyone seriously interested in offering him a home. |
We are very urgently seeking a foster or adopted home for George, this lovely 9 year old boy. Very sadly his owner’s health has declined significantly meaning George cannot stay in his home.
George is a strong lad who has lived with another dog but he will most likely be more comfortable as the only one in the house. He settles well in the home but can be reactive to some dogs when out but not all. George will wait patiently for his food and eat it nicely but if a morsel drops to the floor at any time from any source he will snaffle it and very much ensure it is his, and his alone. Consequently, he will not be rehomed with young children. We believe a quiet household would be good for George with some secure outside space where he can play as he does like his ball and a game of tug. |

The gorgeous Wilson, is a red boy with a black mask, who is 1.5 years old. He is currently not neutered but will need to be when he is in his new home. He is currently in West Sussex.
Wilson is a much loved family member but is looking for a new quieter home where he can continue his training and socialisation. Wilson will need someone who is committed to working with his resource guarding and with his lead control and dog reactivity, and how to be a little calmer when greeting people. Wilson is currently living with small children but is looking for a new home with adults only due to his resource guarding. He has not lived with other dogs and can be reactive especially with smaller dogs, for this reason we are looking for a home for Wilson where he is the only pet. |
Remy is a very handsome brindle and white boy; he is a very young lad of 14 months old. Remy is looking for a new home through no fault of his own except for being a typical young boxer who needs a calm environment and guidance to make him into the fabulous dog we know he will be.
We are looking for a quiet home with an experienced Boxer owner as Remy needs to learn to chill out and relax, it is important his new family are around most of the time and are up for taking on this young boy to help him develop. Remy knows all his basic commands as he has been to training classes but will need ongoing guidance . He has no recall and has very rarely been off lead, so this will need work too. Remy does lunge at other dogs when walking on the lead as he gets very excited and lacks self-control, he will also need further socialisation. Currently Remy is in Central London, we are looking for a family in a quieter location which will help reduce this boys adrenaline levels immensely. Please note Remy will not be rehomed with young children but can live with older teenagers, we feel he could benefit from living with an older calm female dog, sadly no cats or small furries. |
Taz is a lovely red boy, just 7 years old and has come to rescue from a loving environment. He came because of a change of circumstances in his home and has been in foster care with us whilst he recuperates from an operation on his cruciate. Taz has just had his four week check up and we are really pleased to hear that his leg is healing well. He is scheduled to have a further follow up in another four weeks time, plus an xray and hopefully all will be well and he will be fighting fit and ready to move to his forever home.
Taz is an all round happy dog. He lived with children previously and is good with other dogs although his owner generally walked him off lead in quieter areas because he was much bigger than the other dogs in the park. He has put on a little weight whilst confined to compulsory rest following the operation but a return to a more active life should see that quickly disappear. |
This lovely two year old boy is seeking a new home. He is much loved in his current home and is only being rehomed with great reluctance. He walks well on the lead and has benefited from lots of training which we would like to see continue. His recall is good and he is friendly with other dogs and people. He has lived with a cat but largely ignores it. Ideally, he needs a home with plenty of outside space and near open spaces. He is lovely in the home but finds overattentiveness from young children difficult and would prefer to avoid their cuddles and play so we are seeking an adult only home. He is neutered and is fed on AVA food which suits him where others have not. He is neutered, chipped and his vaccinations are up to date.

Please read the full details about Tess and make sure you can meet her needs before enquiring about her.
Tess is approx. 18 months old. We understand that in the first 8 months or so of her life she did not have the best of times, possibly being abused. For the past ten months she has lived with a family who removed her from her first home and she has lived with other dogs and children. Because of her past experience Tess is nervous. For example, if you raise your hand, perhaps to lift something from a shelf, she seems to fear the worst and cowers. Tess is great with other dogs, male and female. Her recall is good to a point. When you call she returns but will not come completely to you. Similarly she is reluctant to come into the house if you are near the door. If you are not, she sails in. Tess needs someone to show her human kindness, to spend time with her, to build her confidence and to engage with some training. Ideally there would be another resident dog to help her feel secure. |
Nova is a lovely brindle girl aged 2 years 6 months old. Currently Nova is living in a busy household with three fellow boxers and is coming into rescue as she is having arguments with the other female, her mother, to the extent that they are kept apart in the home. Nova has also had one litter of pups and will need to be spayed, a cost that HCBW will meet.
Nova is very energetic and strong on the lead and is exuberant when meeting people. We are seeking a home for her where she will be the only dog, at least at first until she reaps the benefits from training and regular exercise, both of which she will definitely need. Its probably best to assume that training will have to start from scratch. Nova is not used to being left for any period of time and has no experience of cats. Because of her exuberance and energy levels we are seeking a home where any children are 12 years or over. She is currently in Dorset. |
This little girl is Coco : she is just over a year old . She is affectionate and enjoys human attention. She came into rescue because she was living in a very busy household with two other dogs and she was not getting the training or socialisation she needed. She was left outside on occasions and barked for attention When she came in first of all, she was nervous and her owner said she was quite possessive over her food and toys. She has not displayed these traits in rescue and the kennels say she is very friendly, loves attention and enjoys tossing her food bowl around sometimes. She is full of life and although she has lived with other dogs, she doesn’t really know how to interact with them and can be dominant. We are looking for a child and dog-free home for her where she can feel secure and where she can benefit from some training and socialisation.
Coco is entire and will need to be spayed, a cost HCBW will meet. |
Poppy is a gorgeous 6 year old Boxer cross Staffie, who came to us from the pound after being found and handed in. Sadly her owner didn't come forward to claim her.
She is currently in foster care in Norfolk and her fosterer sings her praises. Poppy loves everyone she meets and she walks very well on the lead - walking to heel. She has met dogs out on walks and enjoys a play. She is lovely with the children who she has met when they visited her in the foster home. She's a very good girl and would make a great family member. She is house-trained and we believe she is neutered [this is being checked]. She can be left for 3/4 hours. |
EROS **Rehomed**Eros is a lovely, sturdy, brindle boy
Age: nearly 6 years old Neutered: yes Vaccinations: Up to date Travels in car: fine Horses: fine Cats: no, will chase them. Dogs: Could live with a placid female. Dogs outside the home: When off lead he plays well with most small dogs and female dogs but not males. On lead: Initially pulls, in an excited way but calms down. Will lunge towards some dogs, usually males and will sometimes bark. Recall: Good, unless there are other dogs around. Children: 12+. Eros likes children but because he is very strong and boisterous we think he may prove too much for younger ones. Eros is a typical boisterous boxer boy who is coming into rescue because of the failing health of his elderly owner. He will benefit from some attention and exercise which it has not always been possible to give him in recent time. |
Luna is an 18 month old white, unspayed girl, who due to a change in her owners circumstance is now looking for a new Forever Home. As Luna is being left for too long during the day, she will need someone who can be with her most of the time, to get her confidence up and house training back on track. On assessment, she was a bit grumbly and stood off to start, but within a few minutes was more than happy to cuddle up for a smooch. She is strong on the lead, but being small, this is not a problem and will need some training in this area. She can be reactive to other dogs, but it is more excitement than anything else and on that basis we are looking for a dog / pet free home. If placed with a family with children, they will need to be older or Boxer savvy and know when she needs her space. We believe this lovely girl has bags of potential and just needs someone who can help her realise it. HCBW will meet the spaying costs. Currently Luna is in Hampshire.

Pippa is a special girl who needed a special home, with a CONSISTENT approach by EVERYONE in the household.
She can be a loving, cuddly girl, but she can also be vocal and appear aggressive if she doesn’t know or like you. But we felt sure that she would blossom in the right environment with someone who would make the effort to fully understand her.

Toffee **Rehomed** |
offee is just over a year old. She is a lovely natured dog, is well socialised and is good with other dogs. Unfortunately, she does not appear have an 'off' switch, so she's on the go all of the time and has become destructive in her home, even when her current owner is in the house.
Whilst her constant running around may be funny to watch and experience for a short time, she needs a home with someone to show her how to relax - she's in a permanent state of alert! We think she may benefit from being in a home with an older, calm dog to guide her, but this is not essential. The key is to find a home with someone who is able to teach her that it’s OK to put her paws up and have a rest sometimes 😴 She is fully vaccinated and will need to be neutered after her next season. As per our adoption policy, a home-check will be required. Thanks. |
Bruce is a 2yr old male.
He is VERY lively and quite boisterous. He is vaccinated, microchipped, un neutered (this will need to be done once he has been rehomed). He has no health problems as known. He is very full on when he has met other dogs, so for a long time he has been kept away from them. He doesn’t like cats. Due to his boisterousness he couldn’t be rehomed where there are small children. He lives with older children so ideally over 12’s. He is crate trained . If left to his own devices he can become destructive through boredom. He does live with another young boxer but we are looking for a home where he will be the only dog at the moment. This will enable the new owners to go back to basics with him and calm the jumping up and really work on his socialization and recall. Ideally a home where someone is there the majority of the time, as he is spending a lot of time crated, is what he is looking for. He is currently in South Somerset. |
Stan is an 18month bobtail male.
Stan doesn’t seem to have an off switch and is very boisterous. He is vaccinated, microchipped and no known health problems. He doesn’t like cats. Due to his over excitement and boisterousness he will not be rehomed where there are small children. He does live with children but only over 12’s. On the very rare occasion that he has met other dogs, he is so very full on that it has resulted in problems. Stan doesn’t have any recall and so the new owners will need to go back to basics with him teaching him socialization, recall and calmness. We are looking for a home where someone is there the majority of the day and where he will be the only dog at the moment. Despite living with another dog he is spending a lot of time crated and on his own. Stan is in South Somerset. |
Luna is settling well into her new home. We are all so pleased for her :)
Luna is 6 years old, neutered and fully vaccinated. She is a very loving, affectionate girl who is used to living with children, but she needs to be the only dog in the home.
She is also a strong girl and she lunges at other dogs when she’s out on a walk, but we think this is mostly in frustration! She is learning to walk nicely on a lead, so you would need to continue with this training to make her walks more relaxed for everyone 😊 Luna has skin allergies which might be managed by diet, but we are still working with a vet to get a full diagnosis. |
DARCY ***re-homed***This is Darcey, a 3 year old brindle girl, who is looking for her forever home.
She is currently in a loving home on the Hampshire/Surrey borders and is very reluctantly being given up by her present owners due to their ill health. Darcy is a loving, well behaved, balanced girl, with a remarkably calm demeanour for a three year old Boxer. On assessment, she walked well on the lead and responded to all the usual commands, willingly and without a fuss. She is, like many, inconsistent with her approach to other dogs. She may grumble a bit, lurch towards or completely ignore them, but she has made great progress in being less reactive over the past year. For that reason and so she can continue her training, we will not place her in a home with other dogs. She loves all humans, including children, although due to due diligence, we would prefer older children. She has been left for up to three hours and is not destructive. |
We are urgently looking for a temporary foster home for approx. 8/12 weeks for Luna, who is 5 years old. She is a loving, gentle girl who is used to living with children, but she needs to be the only dog in the house - and there must be no cats.
She is a strong girl on the lead and can be reactive towards other dogs, so she will need a firm hand when walking (or a large garden where she doesn't need to go for too many walks!) Can you help? If so, please contact either: Karen Kerby on 07712 669707 or email karen.kerby@hcbw.org.uk or Lorraine Harvey on 07760 178529 or email lorraine.harvey@hcbw.org.uk. A home check visit will apply and ideally the foster home will be in the Midlands or South East of England |
George ***REHOMED*** |
George hasn't had the best start in life, but he is loving his new forever home 😄

Winnie & Ronda **REHOMED** |
These two lovely affectionate girls were happily rehomed together and are loved by everyone they meet.

After spending a long time in foster (longer than we had anticipated due to the Covid19 lock-down), Lenny has persuaded his foster mum that he should stay with her permanently.
Good news all round - they now keep each other company, and he is never left on his own 😊 |
5 years old / female / unneutered (she will need to be spayed after her next season) / red & white
Suitable home: Ruby is looking for a quietish home with NO other resident, or visiting, dogs. She has been brought up with young children but we would only rehome her with children over 12 years old, as she can be a little boisterous. Issues: Ruby really doesn't like other dogs. When out on the lead she will pull, lunge and bark at any dog she sees. She is quite a strong girl. In the home Ruby is a very loving girl. She is quite obedient and loves to be with you. She can be left for short periods on her own. Ruby needs someone who can give 100% commitment to her and her onward training. With patience and understanding she will learn that other dogs aren't anything to be scared of. A satisfactory home-check will need to be done before she can be adopted. |
LENNOX **Rehomed**8 years old / male /unneutered / red Boxer cross.
Lennox was all set to join his new family but unfortunately the affects of Covid 19 has thrown a spanner in the works and so we are now actively seeking a new home for him. Issues: None really. He settled into his foster home where they have found him to be a joy. They say 'Having fostered this wonderful boy for the past three weeks, we can without question say that if it wasn't for our circumstance, he would be going nowhere. He is the calmest, chilled out chap you could ever wish for. He has met other dogs with no reaction apart from a cursory sniff. He does not pull on the lead, although due to his past life, is not a huge fan of walking and is always happier on the way back home where the sofa is calling for another snooze. Anybody who is lucky enough to have this marvellous, kind souled boy share the rest of his life with them, will feel blessed . He is one in a million. Veterinary issues: Lennox does have a lump on his back although this has not changed shape or grown for well over a year and is benign, once he is settled in his new home, we shall be seeking vet advice for removal of the lump , the cost of which the charity will meet. Lennox is also eligible to be covered by our Oldies policy which will be fully explained at the time of rehoming. A satisfactory home-check would need to be done before he can be adopted. We do have a super short video which we will share with anyone interested in offering this boy a home and the fosterer will be happy to talk to you and answer any questions you may have. |

HANK **rehomed**Hank has found his forever home and is busy settling in.
Hank is coming into rescue following a change of family circumstances. He is a much loved boy and has been great with the young children he has lived with. Hank is 6 years old, neutered , vaccinated and micro-chipped. He is a really good boy in the home. Outside he starts by pulling on the lead but settles. He can be difficult when first meeting new dogs and sound aggressive but once the initial meet has happened and the dogs have come together he will mix quite happily. |
MISSY |
Missy's foster Mum has decided that she can't imagine letting Missy go to another home. It's only taken 18 months (I know - time flies!) but she is a very happy dog where she is, and we are all very happy for her 😊
|
ISSY **rehomed**Issy has now found her forever home! A beautiful red & white girl approx. 4 years old when she came into HCBW looking for a new home.
She is a lively active girl and is full of beans. She is lovely in the home and has lived with cats. She loves people and is very friendly. She can be dominant with some other dogs and likes to stand over them. Issy will initially pull on the lead but has improved with training . She is a foody which is a great training aid. Issy is chipped and vaccinated. She will need to be spayed once settled into her new home. Issy has not lived with children and as she is bouncy we are looking for a home with older children only. |

BELLABella has now found her forever home. Bella came into us at HCBW aged 8 years old and looking for a new home due to her owner's ill health.
She is a small girl weighing just over 20 kg and has a lovely sweet nature with adults and children alike. She is house-trained and good in the home. Bella has lived in an urban environment and is used to lead walking only. She has lived with cats but is not good with other dogs either in the house or outside. |
BUGSYThis is the lovely Bugsy who is 6 years old and is now happily settled in his new home.
His family's circumstances have changed and sadly they can no longer keep him with them. His owner describes him as full of life and a very funny boy. He has been with us for a few weeks and has gained some weight which he needed to do. He has lived with children and another dog, but not cats. Outside he is good, but can be very awkward with other male dogs, particularly entire ones. He is neutered and uptodate with his vaccinations. |
LOTTIEThis is the lovely, lively Lottie who is now very settled in her new forever home.
She has, through no fault of her own, had a really challenging start to her short life and really deserves a caring, patient, calm home. Lottie is fifteen months old and suffers from separation anxiety and therefore needs somebody to be around most of the time who can help her through it. If left, she will be into everything, will counter-surf and her house training with fail. She gets on well with other dogs and lived with one at her previous home. |
BUSTERBuster came into HCBW as a lovely 2 year old brindle boy looking for a new home through no fault of his own but with some known health problems. He is now very happy in his new adopted forever home!
Generally he is good with other dogs and currently resides with a 3 year old female boxer who he gets on well with. When out together he can pull on the lead but on his own is fine. He is also very good with young children and plays well with the owners girls aged 5 and 1. He is a handsome, playful boy who enjoys company and does suffer with separation anxiety so would be most suitable for someone who is home most of the time. |
GRACEThe beautiful Grace came into HCBW for rehoming as she was not getting on with the new dog. We later found out that she had a serious health condition but by then, she was already very much loved and in her new adopted forever home. She is the most beautiful, gentle girl.

Mario is a lovely boy who was looking for a very special home. He is 2 years old and has not had the best start in life. Brought over from Italy at 5 months old as a stud dog, he suffers with separation anxiety and appears to have missed out on basic puppy training and development. He has recently undergone an operation to correct cherry eye in both eyes and has experienced a number of seizures, so he’s on medication for epilepsy which is now under control.
He is now settled happily with his best friend, Daisy, another Boxer, who has helped him to relax and enjoy life. |

Dexter came into HCBW in March 2019 at just 15 months old and he is a real beauty but he is not the dog for the faint hearted or inexperienced.
We are pleased that we have found a permanent home for him with a boxer savvy family where there are no children and no other dogs, cats or other small furries. He came from a very busy home where he was in a permanently excited state and was not enjoying the level of socialisation he needs. Although not aggressive, he was most frequently distracted and did not focus. He can take a while to calm down. He will pull on the lead and can lunge at other dogs. Walking him is a challenge but he does respond to treats en route to encourage better behaviour. We wish his new adoptive family all the best in working with him to achieve some calm and balance with one-to-one attention and training and we are sure his wonderful character will shine through and he will be a lovely boy! |
Millie came to HCBW around middle of May and instantly found her forever home. Millie was just 9 months old when she came to us and had lived with her Boxer friend who she adored but unfortunately due to a relationship breakdown she had to find a home where someone would be around to help her continue with her training.
Millie landed on her paws, as she has someone at home all day and the company of a gorgeous female Boxer, Doris who she met and went home with on 3 June 2018. Doris has accepted the new bouncy addition to the family and has even started to chase the ball around the garden again! Millie has settled very quickly and has made friends everywhere she has been on her adventures so far. We wish Millie, Dorris and her new human family members many years of happy times ahead! |

Buster came to HCBW in May 2018 and had a home instantly, whilst the Royal Wedding was going ahead on 19 May Buster was on his way to his new forever home.
Buster is a wonderful boy, nearly 4 years old he is well trained and friendly with everyone and everything! Unfortunately for Buster and his previous owner they just couldn't be around for the time that he needed. He originally grew up with a Husky dog in Australia so is a well travelled boy! His new family live by the coast and he enjoys a morning stroll along the beach chasing the waves! Buster has made new friends wherever he has gone and is loving having people around all day! Good luck in your new home Buster, we know everyone has already fallen in love with you! |
Denzel came into HCBW at just 5 months old on 11 May 2018 as he just wasn't coping when left for even very short periods of time. It didn't take him long to find his forever home, he was already off and meeting them on 13 May 2018.
Denzel has found the perfect home where he gets attention 24/7 and where he can learn to become a calm, relaxed dog at his own pace. Denzel has already made his mark with his new family and gave them quite a fright when he needed an emergency operation at the end of May due to a retained testicle but he recovered very quickly and is back running around and keeping them entertained. We wish Denzel and his new family all the very best for many years to come! |

Henry the gorgeous 2.5 year old bob-tail boy came into HCBW in April 2018 and went off to his new forever home on 13 May 2018. Henry was looking for a special home where someone was around for most of the day and where he could get continued support and training. He now lives with a lovely couple who love him to bits. He enjoys snoozing in the office whilst his Dad works away and taking breaks in the garden before heading off for long walks in the beautiful South West. One of his favourite places is the couple's bed where he has decided to keep all his toys! We wish Henry and his new family all the very best! |
Buster, (previously known as Kanya) but affectionately known as Buz, was given over to HCBW just 1 week before Christmas in 2017. He was 2 years old. He came straight into foster care and proved to be quite a handful for his fosterers. However, given time, firm discipline, lots of training and exercise, he has become a truly wonderful companion and was adopted by the foster family just a couple of months later.
His training continues and he has settled very well. He is super friendly and a very sociable Boxer. He is completely adored by his new family who are quite fond of his cuddly nature. Good luck in your new home Buz! |
Crumpet (was Martha) came into HCBW in September 2017 at just 7 months old as she was being bullied at home by the other 2 resident Boxers and was not allowed to play with toys and was just too much of a handful. Crumpet was re-homed with a 4.5 year old brindle Boxer girl called Marmite, who is practically her twin. They got on from the moment they saw each other and share all their toys, play together continuously and eat and sleep together with no issues whatsoever. Crumpet's training is still on-going as she is quite attention seeking and can be destructive when ignored! Crumpet will be starting Agility with Marmite soon... |
